For anyone wondering how much money you currently (9/16) take home after taxes from the HPSP signing bonus and monthly stipend: Of the $20,000 bonus I took home: $13,750 (about 68%) Of the monthly stipend: $936 x2 per month = $1,872 per month

Hi all! First, congrats to all those who received the 4 year- HPSP for the AF this past week. I am excited to one day serve alongside you! Now, for my questions: I have read tons of different boards about MEPS and how drawn out the process is. I have no major medical issues, i'm on pretty...

I am a third year who was Navy HPSP. I've been informed that the Navy medical review board has decided to discharge me for a h/o PE with a subsequent finding of slightly low Protein C levels that my doctor stated shouldn't be a worry. It is documented that the PE was caused by an injury that...

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I commissioned last week and was wondering how long it has generally taken people to get paid. One person has told me as long as 8 weeks. Any other input would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to get straight to the point. Roommate gave me a brownie without me knowing that had marijuana in it, and I'm supposed to commission in a little over a week for army HPSP. I got in a REALLY big fight with him, but don't want to get him in trouble since he's very apologetic and also a...

All right bear with me... I'm pretty flabbergasted after the call I received today from the HPSP recruiter I have been working with for several months. To set the scene: I will be starting my first year in osteopathic medical school in 1 week. I had been planning on doing the Air Force HPSP...

Hey all! I'm currently working on my secondary application for USUHS and was wondering if anyone affiliated with military medicine could read through it and give me some feedback. I appreciate it. Thank you!

Hey all! I've searched high and low for a thread for those applying for the Air Force's HPSP and failed to find one. Any one else applying? My package is finished and I interview next week! I know the board meets July 28th or 29th! I heard we could hear as early as August on who gets it! Any...

Hello I am currently going through the Navy HPSP and would like to hear from anyone with experience going through similar situations. I understand the ins and outs of GMO circumstances, I am interested in learning more from personal experiences including Flight Surgeons, UMOs, and the...

I have read that the military will reimburse you for your health insurance premium if your school requires you to have a certain amount of coverage. If I get a cheaper policy will they reimburse me for that amount or the amount of the school's policy? I ask because I am trying to stretch the...

Hello All, I know this topic is beaten to death on SDN, but I was accepted into a good state MD (allopathic) medical school. I am considering the HPSP scholarship with the Navy. I understand that financial motives alone are not sufficient enough to make it a logical choice, and the...

Hello Milmed, Incoming M1 here- currently working on both AF (3-year) and Army (4-year) HPSP scholarships. I have been researching both of these scholarships and the fine print associated with both. I have decided I would be okay with becoming a flight surgeon in the AF, but I can't find very...

Hi, I am currently an undergraduate student at Duke majoring in biomedical engineering. My goal is to attend USUHS medical school, but my engineering coursework took a real hit on my GPA, (~3). I am looking into ways to raise my GPA, such as post-bacc programs. If I were to raise it to a more...

Hi, does anyone know the army's policy for recoupment of HPSP money if you have completed your ADSO but unable to complete the IRR portion. I am scheduled to ETS after 4 years next month and the CG is trying to chapter me for minor misconduct. He's being a hardass and has requested they void...

Hello! I'm a (just finished with M1 year) medical student who took the HPSP from the AF. Currently sitting through classes in COT and wondering what to do with myself. The flight commander starts talking about language learning options. I asked about the option of utilizing some of them (want...

Hello SDN Nation, I'm currently a 4th year at USUHS and this month was recently declared military medicine month. If the exclamation point didn't give it away, I'm pretty pumped about medicine AND being in the military. I've read a lot of the horror stories, and though I'm not discounting their...

Hi All, I was accepted to the HPSP for the Army this fiscal year and was wondering if anyone has an idea about duty stations after licensure? I'm aware of the five internship sites, and sites for post-doc/fellowships, but can't seem to find information on where folks go next in the behavioral...

Hey all, Currently filling out my application for AACOMAS. In the military status section, it asks for my anticipated military status at the time of enrollment. Since I plan on doing the HPSP program through the Navy, should I list member of reserve? Anybody know how to go about this? Thanks

Hi All, I am seeking some knowledge on Air Force HPSP time tables. Essentially at this point I have completed all required paper work, have been medically cleared ect. I got the email saying "congrats we've accepted you to the Air Force team". Now I am supposedly waiting on a general or...

Gentleman, After consideration I think the HPSP route is my best option, due to the length of my current ADSO. If I was to wait out my SLRP ADSO I would be waiting another 3 years. I have heard that conditional releases with the intent of joining the HPSP program, upon acceptance to medical...

Currently I'm set on dental school, even right now I haven't even began pre-dental requisites and schooling. I got out of the Marine Corps 2014. I applied for disabilities with the VA 2015 and received %20. %10 for PTSD and %10 for tinnitus. I have not received any health care for either while...

Hey everyone, I'm a pre med student applying to med school this upcoming summer. I've been really interested in going into military medicine through the HPSP program or the USUHS Military med school. I come from a big military family and I think it would be an honor and unique experience to...

Does anyone know when the BOLC quizzes A-G found on MODS under the tab "admin" need to be taken? I found a thread from 2013 stating that they need to be completed 1-2 months prior to attending BOLC and that you get an informational CD in order to complete them. However, I spoke with my HPSP...

I have a question regarding housing and changing bases after completing and 1year-AEGD 1) How did you go about finding a place to live? I was told that as an officer you are not allowed to live on base. I live in a totally different state than my future AEGD program. I have to go to BOLC before...

Hi everyone! So I have recently started to think about the future and of course BOLC came to mind. I'm graduating end of May, going to 1 year AEGD and just now read a phenomenal post a few lines bellow this one titled "Army BOLC 2015 - what was it like." A really phenomenal job with that post...

Hi all. So a little background on me: I am currently an undergrad studying Business with a minor in health administration, and pre med as well, and am also a 68W (healthcare specialist aka medic) in the national guard with an infantry unit. By the time I graduate, my guard contract will be over...

Hi Everyone! I was recently awarded the 3-year HPSP with the USAF. I know it doesn't start till by D2 year, but I was wondering if anyone who has had the 3-year scholarship been able to receive reimbursements for things you bought your D1 year? Would things like loupes be able to be reimbursed...

I am currently in the process of applying for the Army HPSP scholarship. I have spoken with my recruiter, and he has told me something that I think is not accurate. I've read on these forums that deployments during the active duty obligation can be sent anywhere and from 9-15 months at a time...

Have any HPSP participants out there had success in flying on Space A flights? Who did you get to sign your DD 1583 Form?

Hi all, I'm 24 and currently a graduate student getting my Master's of Science in Athletic Training (graduation 05/2017), my grades are (uGPA 3.5, sGPA 3.65, gGPA 4.0). Unfortunately, I wasn't flirting with the thought of medical school until I started this program. After hundreds of hours...

I'm a female who is planning on enlisting in the Army Reserves as a 15U Helicopter Repairer. I was told by my recruiter that I can remain in the Army Reserves for 1+ years while I apply to med school (and HPSP), then if accepted, I can transition from the Army Reserves to the HPSP scholarship...

Hi everyone, Current Navy HPSP student. Wrapping up first year. I was wondering if currently the Navy was letting people get into Family Medicine Residency without a GMO tour? I mean, I don't mind GMO. The Diving tour sounds pretty awesome actually. Just trying to get an idea if I'm going...

I'm looking for a few clarifying details, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. My questions are specific to the Navy, though I suspect that the answers are the same for all branches. Example A: Student on HSCP or HPSP graduates from dental school and goes right into 2-year Endo program (or...

Hey everyone, So I have a question regarding the year commitment to the Army after a 4 year HPSP scholarship. To my understanding it is a MINIMUM commitment of 8 years after residency, 4 of which must be done on Active Duty. If my residency years, not counting intern year, surpass the amount of...

Just called to get information about the OTS dates for Air Force applicants, as I couldn't find the information easily. If anyone knows the dates for Army/Navy, I am sure others would appreciate it. Air Force OTS for HPSP and USUHS students is Class 1605 and will take place on June 27 - July...

So, I think I've been able to determine that the years spent in dental school don't count for PSLF while on HPSP and even not while on HSCP, despite being "Active Duty." On the attached sheet, which is the Public Service Employment Certification form, under the Military section, it says...

I've seen this question asked a few times before, but there aren't too many responses besides a post from 2006. I will be starting medical school in August, and after extensive research (and deciding against HPSP) I am deciding between joining the National Guard or the US Army Reserves for...

I'm a second year DO candidate and currently studying for boards. Should I take both? If you took both, please give me your rationale and the source (medical education director, program director, etc.) that advised you to do so. Thanks in advance!
